Texts in the visual and performing arts
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

Texts in the visual and performing arts generally have stable and available identifying information and should be listed in your reference list. Parenthetical citations follow the usual author-date form.

ART EXHIBITION CATALOGS. Cite an art exhibition catalog as you would a book. In your reference list, include the name and location(s) of the exhibition following the publication data.

R: Barter, Judith A., ed. 1998. Mary Cassatt: Modern woman. Chicago: Art Institute of Chicago, in association with Harry N. Abrams. Published in conjunction with the exhibition “Mary Cassatt: Modern Woman” shown at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the National Gallery in Washington, DC, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

PLAYS. In some cases, you can cite well-known English-language plays in parenthetical citations only. (See also 19.5.1.) Use headline-style capitalization for titles. Separate the elements with commas. Omit publication data, and cite passages by act and scene (or other division) instead of by page number.

P: (Eugene O'Neill, Long Day's Journey into Night, act 2, scene 1)

If your paper is in literary studies or another field concerned with close analysis of texts, or if you are citing a translation or an obscure work, cite every play as you would a book, and include it in your reference list. Cite passages either by division or by page, according to your local guidelines.
